The view from the balcony over the lake is stunning even in the rain. We were pleased to see that the balcony decking at the rear has been extended and the balcony is now fully enclosed with a gate. The central heating was a big bonus in September. Great for families, walkers and everyone.

Quiet and relaxing. Wonderful outlook over the lake. Spied the heron! The chalet had everything we needed. A real home from home. Nicky was amazing helping us out with the WiFi. It was clean, comfy, with a lovely hot shower and the added bonus, a freezer! Fabulous position for exploring all the beauty of Wales. Nicky was brilliant at suggesting some local places to visit which we did and they were lovely. The Llanberis railway, The Slate Mine, driving through the National Park was stunning. We didn't use the pool or club, but popped in and they were busy and the bar very homely and the food looked delicious. An absolutely perfect stay. We highly recommend staying here.
